MY FAULTS
It's my fault, I'm just imperfect,
Thus the righteous pulls me down.
It's my fault, my love is perfect,
Thus my heart is oft knocked down
It's my fault, I care and mingle,
Thus any Tom wants the dinner.
It's my fault, I am still single,
Thus to all, I'm just a sinner.
No one cares about the mood,
Or the truth would like to know.
All they want are nails and rood,
To hang the gaff and make a show.
If you came to save a sinner,
Then rescue me from the sly.
If my beards were long and thinner,
Then your...
Thus the righteous pulls me down.
It's my fault, my love is perfect,
Thus my heart is oft knocked down
It's my fault, I care and mingle,
Thus any Tom wants the dinner.
It's my fault, I am still single,
Thus to all, I'm just a sinner.
No one cares about the mood,
Or the truth would like to know.
All they want are nails and rood,
To hang the gaff and make a show.
If you came to save a sinner,
Then rescue me from the sly.
If my beards were long and thinner,
Then your...

MISS EARTH
Magnificently clothed with blue sparkled with white
Incredibly stunning, her beauty is Charming bright
She stands on air and fear not the fire nor the cold
Shading off burning star with her skin fair and bold
Eons have gone and to come, but she will be here
After the scourges they caused her, she still sneer
Returning love and care to us all without a grudge
This is why I love her, and even more so her judge
Her name vertically from the beginning ends here
Incredibly stunning, her beauty is Charming bright
She stands on air and fear not the fire nor the cold
Shading off burning star with her skin fair and bold
Eons have gone and to come, but she will be here
After the scourges they caused her, she still sneer
Returning love and care to us all without a grudge
This is why I love her, and even more so her judge
Her name vertically from the beginning ends here

DARK NIGHT
Everyday and every night
'Can't take my mind off that night
It all started like a normal night
Just to turn out to be the worst night
Tears won't let me be this night
How can the moon turns dark at night
You've turned to queen of the night
Shattering all my life in one night
Everyday and every night
I shed much tears worst at night
Wondering why you changed my day to night
Making me to have much sleepless night
I was a star in a clear dark night
Shining brightly lighting up the night
Then you...
'Can't take my mind off that night
It all started like a normal night
Just to turn out to be the worst night
Tears won't let me be this night
How can the moon turns dark at night
You've turned to queen of the night
Shattering all my life in one night
Everyday and every night
I shed much tears worst at night
Wondering why you changed my day to night
Making me to have much sleepless night
I was a star in a clear dark night
Shining brightly lighting up the night
Then you...

THE CLARION CALL
Our sire's sight, our mama's care
Our distinct cults and lives we own
Distinct tongues and Distances fair
Left we did, to the land unknown
In cage we stayed in the prison zone
Who will not miss the clarion call!
Earlier we woke than the land to serve
"Under the sun or in the rain" I recall
We stood and sang with skill and verve
The land we have, we vowed to preserve
Fun it was to a thousand and one
Man O War drill and lecture fright
Early waking for just a dry run
The soccer game and the fire night ...
Our distinct cults and lives we own
Distinct tongues and Distances fair
Left we did, to the land unknown
In cage we stayed in the prison zone
Who will not miss the clarion call!
Earlier we woke than the land to serve
"Under the sun or in the rain" I recall
We stood and sang with skill and verve
The land we have, we vowed to preserve
Fun it was to a thousand and one
Man O War drill and lecture fright
Early waking for just a dry run
The soccer game and the fire night ...

HARMATTAN
Here comes the freezing day, and brings alot affright
When the day dawns with rustling of trees in the wind
When sun smiles, but like teeth on ice taking a bite
And moist hurriedly go, leaving droughty behind
Here comes the cracked lip, that gives a painful smile
When one cling to the lair and wish the night a while
Here comes the dusty day and wears the foot a sock
When the bath is a foe, and must be fought and won
When the fire is our amigo, and reach deadlock
And hold tight our fabric, e'en as much as a ton
Here comes the...
When the day dawns with rustling of trees in the wind

And moist hurriedly go, leaving droughty behind
Here comes the cracked lip, that gives a painful smile
When one cling to the lair and wish the night a while
Here comes the dusty day and wears the foot a sock
When the bath is a foe, and must be fought and won

DOWN TO THE EARTH
Down to the earth like an open grave,
but with smiles on the face like a quokka,
Who can read the heart through the shining teeth,
or see the mind from the glittering lips!
If there are tears that ease the pains,
let them flow out like the evil stream,
And poems that can tell the mind,
pour them out like an open tap!
He Passes through the same street again and again,
missing just the same steps again and again.
but with smiles on the face like a quokka,
Who can read the heart through the shining teeth,
or see the mind from the glittering lips!
If there are tears that ease the pains,
let them flow out like the evil stream,
And poems that can tell the mind,
pour them out like an open tap!
He Passes through the same street again and again,
missing just the same steps again and again.

Love I dreamt
On the flat end of the mountain tip
(Where ever this is, my heart did sail)
Where sun and rain sign a peace slip
Stands a love that will never fail
Beauty and brain and together stay
Tender and caring and never stray
A queen who loves more or just same
Respecting all, and the most high
Whose imperfection is just a name
In love's flame then, here we will die
Hush! wake me not from what I caught!
For in the real, I know it not
(Where ever this is, my heart did sail)
Where sun and rain sign a peace slip
Stands a love that will never fail
Beauty and brain and together stay
Tender and caring and never stray
A queen who loves more or just same
Respecting all, and the most high
Whose imperfection is just a name
In love's flame then, here we will die
Hush! wake me not from what I caught!
For in the real, I know it not

HAND WRITING ON THE WALL
The hand writing on the wall!
Who can see and read it all?
When it started in the mall,
Growing fat and looking tall.
In seventh heaven I did fall.
The hand writing on the wall!
If you see please read it all.
Blowing their tops on first call:
Ringing bell in the main hall,
Sending chills to us all.
The hand writing on the wall!
If you're reading, read it all.
At the corner is there a ball?
Down in the dumps will I fall?
I'll take cover, never squall.
Who can see and read it all?

Growing fat and looking tall.
In seventh heaven I did fall.
The hand writing on the wall!
If you see please read it all.
Blowing their tops on first call:
Ringing bell in the main hall,
Sending chills to us all.
The hand writing on the wall!
If you're reading, read it all.
At the corner is there a ball?
Down in the dumps will I fall?

DO NOT BE GENTLE IN THE PASSION RACE
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
Where all the demons wear the angel's vest
For the end is always an evil mess
Hath thou ever been in an evil chase,
As thou walked away from the devil's nest?
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
Should her tongue be just like gelatinase
May you not get lost in her cunning jest
For the end is always an evil mess
Like father of lies, her lie is a mace
Who's sole aim is to destroy all your rest
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
If there exist a chance to take a race ...
Where all the demons wear the angel's vest
For the end is always an evil mess
Hath thou ever been in an evil chase,
As thou walked away from the devil's nest?
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
Should her tongue be just like gelatinase
May you not get lost in her cunning jest
For the end is always an evil mess
Like father of lies, her lie is a mace
Who's sole aim is to destroy all your rest
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
If there exist a chance to take a race ...

WRECKAGE
The bridge is blown up!
The storm won't give up!
A heart is shattered,
And the pieces, splattered.
Bold, I thought, I was.
I Wish I knew the laws:
Not all that glitters is gold.
And now I'm catching cold.
Afar off, I saw you.
As an angel, I loved you.
My whole heart I lost.
With love I was tossed.
The Sugar is now bitter,
Like Bread without butter.
Pepper fritter, it is,
My getting better, a quiz.
The storm won't give up!
A heart is shattered,
And the pieces, splattered.
Bold, I thought, I was.
I Wish I knew the laws:
Not all that glitters is gold.
And now I'm catching cold.
Afar off, I saw you.
As an angel, I loved you.
My whole heart I lost.
With love I was tossed.
The Sugar is now bitter,
Like Bread without butter.
Pepper fritter, it is,
My getting better, a quiz.
